Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 868

For a family as big as the Xu family, there are quite a few capable nurses in the Xiangyong family. They are fed by the Xu family, and they can't help them relax at this time, because their family members also live in this big house.

But all the courage to fight collapsed in the sound of the cannon, sporadic battles also occurred, quite conceited or from a group of guards in the army, but found that the thieves were not mobs, in one-on-one, whether it was martial arts or equipment They are not inferior, and the few resisters are quickly wiped out.

Hearing the sound of killing in the courtyard at night, Xu Fan and his wives and concubines didn't realize at first, what kind of big family the Xu family is, what kind of status is it in the place, how could someone rush in.

When he reacted, it was too late. Seeing more than a dozen big men rushing into the house, Xu Fan collapsed on the ground amidst the wailing and screaming of his wives and concubines, and said in a trembling voice:

"I am the court servant, and my father is the elder of the court."

No one paid any attention to what he reported, but one person stepped forward and chopped it down with a knife.

***********
Sha Dongning didn't go in to participate in the burning, killing, looting, he just stood outside and waited. A dozen men stood behind him, but they were a little ready to move. Sha Dongning glanced back and said:
"You have a family and a business in Tianjin Weidu, and you have earned a lot of money. Don't get involved in such things, so as not to mess up your mind."

"What the young master said is that the younger ones are just ticklish."

Sha Dongning is different from other people. When he was 12 years old, someone started a disturbance in Hirado. Sha Dongning took a knife and went there with his master to kill more than a dozen people, which is also prestigious.

"There are a few who have close contacts with the Japanese and are registered with the government. Let's keep it later and throw it in!"

Sha Dongning said in a low voice, someone here agreed, but someone from the door over there came out with something, came to him, threw it on the ground, and said harshly:

"It's Xu Fan's head."

Looking at the frightened and distorted head on the ground, Sha Dongning turned his head to look at Liao Lang on the side. Liao Lang nodded. Sha Dongning didn't speak, but Liao Lang raised his voice and said:
"Give another stick of incense to the brothers, or the officers and soldiers will come!!"

**************
Xu's house in Songjiang was broken into by thieves at night, and there were a lot of casualties.

Such Qingwang noble family was destroyed and wiped out, the south of the Yangtze River was a sensation, and the capital was a sensation. The capital naturally sent out capable investigators. Before this, Nanjing and Songjiang prefectures had already sent people to check and investigate.

There are not many clues at the scene, but there are still a few corpses of thieves left, and these corpses are not unfamiliar faces, and some people can recognize them. They are all notorious. The Japanese pirates who are wanted in the Yamen are actually these people who committed the crime. There are quite a lot of pirates in the Zhejiang-Fujian generation, and everyone knows this.

With such a clue, it is naturally related to the pirate's murder of money, but after the third day of the incident, official news and public opinion began to turn.

All kinds of bad deeds of the Xu family's occupation of fields and bullying the market have been exposed. The monks who tried the Puyuan Temple in Changzhou Prefecture originally pointed to the Xu family in a lot of vague information. There is no need to cover up, the Xu family colluded with bandits and powerful people, and used their hands to do those unscrupulous things.

In addition to this, there is also news in the market, saying that because the Xu family hid the stolen goods for the pirates, the two sides shared the spoils unevenly, and even the Xu family swallowed up a lot, which angered the pirates and made this trip a dangerous blow.

The Xu family was in the hinterland of Songjiang Mansion, and the thieves broke into it at night. The local garrison was also very responsible. The garrison only said that the thieves were powerful and they were contacting all parties to gather. They didn't expect the thieves to come and go like the wind and catch up.

The whole of Jiangnan knew about the case, and what was even more astonishing was that the cemetery of the former cabinet boss Xu Jie was actually dug up. Excavating graves is the most unprecedented thing.

Although everyone scolded him for being inhuman, they also thought of a question, Xu Jie was the "loyal minister" who defeated Yan Song, why didn't he dare to be buried in his hometown after his death, and why was his grave dug up in other places.

Back then when Yan Song was notorious and was dismissed from office and sent back to his hometown, his hometown Jiangxi Fenyi didn't have any bad words for Yan Song. Why did Xu Jie offend so many people in the local area, and some people went to dig graves? .

These are just the beginnings, the lid was lifted, the Xu family was wiped out, and many old things were revealed. For example, the Xu family annexed the land back then, for example, many of the annexed bitter masters were at Hai Rui's side. The sufferer who had filed a lawsuit ended up missing the whole family.

Even the rumors that the Xu family gave Dai Fengxiang 3 taels of gold had to be investigated, but only then did they find out that Dai Fengxiang's family, who had a close relationship with the Xu family, had gone to some unknown place. .

All kinds of news, true and false, spread one after another, and the more news spread, the worse the Xu family's face and reputation became. The officials in Nanjing have already asked the court to thoroughly investigate the Xu family's evil deeds.Some folks in the south of the Yangtze River made up rhetoric, saying that only when someone worships the prime minister can they hide stolen goods and kill people at home. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was the other way around, and so on.

The person who delivered these news may not be for some kind of justice. Once the Xu family was destroyed, his family's property, gold and silver were looted, but their family's hundreds of thousands of mu of fertile land in Songjiang Mansion, commercial shops all over the south of the Yangtze River, those weavers As for the cotton weaving workshop, there is no owner of the wealth like the sky, and who doesn't want to have a bite.

What we need to do now is to completely ruin the Xu family's reputation, so that the distant branches of the Xu family will not have the opportunity to inherit the family business, so everyone can share this piece of fat.

In Nanjing, in Suzhou, the Sanjiang Commercial Bank in Songjiang borrowed from their peers, sold their goods at a low price, and gathered a large amount of money. They have already started to buy Xu’s shop and land in various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. You must know that there are many industries On the surface, they are not from the Xu family. Once the Xu family is destroyed, they will become ownerless.

*************
When Han Gang told Wang Tong the news, Wang Tong's expression didn't fluctuate. On the contrary, all the guards had a happy expression. Wang Tong just nodded and said:
"Xu's family has a lot of fields and shops, and Songjiang Cotton Spinning is a Jinshan Yinhai business. It may be beneficial to write a letter to Tianjin Wei and let the people in the Sanjiang Commercial Bank system go and have a look. That's what it means. After Wen wrote the letter , Hurry up and send it over!"

Someone agreed to rush out to do it, Wang Tong said to Han Gang:

"Hurry up to the capital right now, and bring the official's letter to Mr. Yang. There are instructions in the letter. You must bring down Li Zhi, the Zhili inspector, and convict him, so that his reputation will be ruined and he will never be used!!"

It is rare to see Wang Tong say such decisive words, but in the dangers Wang Tong encountered when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, Li Zhi was acting behind the scenes. Passed the letter and hurried to go.

After Wang Tong finished speaking, he sat on the chair and drank tea, pondered for a while and ordered:
"You should inform me. During this period of time, people from the local government and the imperial court must inform you in advance. It is said that the official's body has not recovered and is very weak."

The following suddenly agreed that Linqing Prefecture is not far from Beijing and Tianjin, and news transmission is also convenient. Wang Tong has already learned about the movements and news of Beijing and Tianjin in a timely manner.

Gu Zibin from the Sanjiang Commercial Company reported that the buyers in Liaozhen were trying to bypass the Sanjiang Commercial Company in Tianjin Wei, but the bulk goods in Tianjin Wei basically had to pass through the Sanjiang Commercial Company, and some shops, despite their name There is no Sanjiang, but it is actually in the system. Even if Liaozhen wants to go around, it is not so easy.

Gu Zibin also mentioned casually, saying that Koryo merchants began to appear in Tianjin Wei, and these people trafficked Goryeo specialties. This is normal, but the things they bought are more interesting. They are very interested and willing to pay a high price to buy.

Those ginseng, mink, all kinds of mountain furs, and Korean paper are bought by Sanjiang Trading Company at a low price, and then sold to them at a high price. The profit will be very amazing. Wang Tong originally ordered that the craftsman workshop The manufactured weapons are not allowed to be sold to people other than Daming, but the profit is too high, so Sanjiang Trading Company will ask.

"No, these people must be watched!"

The answer Wang Tong gave was also very simple. The arms business is completely two concepts internally and externally. The Koryo people have a fixed route for paying tribute and doing business. Everyone knows that the sea route is the most convenient, but the Korean people can only take the road along Liaozhen. One by one, military fortresses and towns came over. This arrangement seemed troublesome, but it was actually quite meaningful.

There are Korean merchants who suddenly come from the sea to buy weapons. There is no shortage of iron or weapons in Korea. God knows what this is for.

**************
"Sister Ruomei, how old do you think the master is!"

Compared with the busy outside, the two women, Zhai Xiuer and Lu Ruomei, are much more leisurely. Although in the eyes of outsiders, they are already the "harvest" of Wang Tong's trip to the south of the Yangtze River. The two concubines in Wang Tong's back house up.

When there is nothing to do, chattering among girls is unavoidable, but Lu Ruomei is not in a high mood. Not high, but still replied with a strong temper:

"Master is 22 years old this year, sister should know!"

Zhai Xiuer nodded there, but lowered her voice and said:

"It's not a few years older than us, but it looks like Cheng Yongbo's old men, like people in their 50s and [-]s."

She said this to make Lu Ruomei happy, but Lu Ruomei just smiled, and her face still faded. At this moment, someone outside patted the window lattice and said:
"Master Hou asked the younger one to send a message to Miss Lu that the Xu family in Songjiang was attacked by pirates, and the whole family died."

"Deserved!"

Zhai Xiu'er spat lightly, wanting to see Lu Ruomei's reaction, but saw Lu Ruomei standing there with tears streaming down her face.
